Daniel Scardino walked into Menzies' office feeling less intimidated than he ever had when approaching a higher-up - particularly one with the reputation of Eric Menzies.
He set the urn on the desk.
"What's that?" Menzies asked.
Scardino hoped he managed to conceal his surprise at the inanity of the question. There was nothing to be gained in provoking a bad-tempered dog. "The ashes," Scardino said. "The buildings have been -"
"Who killed him?"
Scardino had prepared himself for that question. "I did," he said steadily. He waited for Menzies to demand detail.
"The building is gone?"
"Yes," Scardino replied, wondering if it could possibly be this easy.
Thanks!!
